Serving static files from another directory rather than "statics"

[Chen Xu]

Hi Everyone,

I am working on a site, under my project in my local environment, I have a directory called "static" (generated by django just like everyone else's) to server my js and css. I wrote a script which minify all the js and css files and copy them in a directory called "static_min" which is at the same level as "static". When I try to include my css and js files from "static_min", it show url not found. 

And I tried the followeing:

in my settings: I changed the STATICFILES_DIRS as the following:

STATIC_ROOT = sys.path[0]

STATICFILES_DIRS = (

    os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'static'),

    os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'static_min')

)

I thought doing this will make Django to look for file in both static and static_min, but it did not work.

Could someone help.

Thanks

django-pipline looks good for me at first, and then I realize it copies both the minified files and the original files (which I dont want). That is why I wrote my own scripts.

Thanks

Hi,

Why not generate the new file under static folder.

I use compressor but for big js css need time for generate the compress minify file when on production.
